Reviews From Guests

Amanda and Rich were very sweet and welcoming. The room was nice and the price was very reasonable. It is clear they care about their guests. They are great airbnb hosts. (Bailey is great, too.) Thanks so much!

Amanda and Rich were always cheerful and seemed happy to have me there the whole time.
I'm highly appreciative of Rich driving me to my meetings each day.
They are excellent hosts with a wonderful home. The neighborhood has good food near it and I was sad it was too winter-ey outside to enjoy it to the fullest.

We are fairly new to airbnb only using it within this last year. That being said we have learned a lot from this last experience. Amanda and Rich have a lovely and comfortable home, it's just as the pictures show. When we first arrived they made us feel very welcome and they even have stuff available for breakfast. The negative for the second room we used is that the only bathroom is upstairs and right next to their bedroom so using it while they were in bed worried us some as we didn't want to wake them. Had everything gone as planned I am sure our stay would have been wonderful, however do to events out of our control our daughter became ill and we no longer felt comfortable in the home. We were not supposed to be around much and it became clear that they were planning on that and didn't appreciate the change in plans. We decided to leave and stay in a hotel the second night. Again if things had gone as planned we would probably have been fine, but life doesn't always go as planned. We will probably only be staying in private residence in the future to avoid further issue.

Please be advised the events out of their control to which Cara refers was her daughter’s sudden illness and constant vomiting throughout the day and night. As a social worker and nurse we were concerned for her daughter’s health and well-being. We suggested she seek medical attention or return home since our space can’t provide the sort of convalescing Cara’s daughter needed, and with one
bathroom, our space is ill equipped for such a task. This was a uniquely unfortunate set of circumstances. We recommend prospective Airbnb guests view our many other positive reviews accumulated over the course of a year.

The hosts: They were accommodating and made sure everything was good to make my stay smooth. I am not really partial with dogs but Bailey is cool - calm and didn't bother me. I always got back to the house tired as I came for business and I was happy they respected my private time. Rich helped me to bring up my luggage to my room upon arrival.
The location: It was accessible for my purpose. Close driving distance in most areas you need to be - restaurants, highway, supermart, pharmacy, Office Depot and many more. Parking is always available on the street.
The apartment: If you like art, you will enjoy this place. It is always kept neat and orderly. Well lit. The bed has high thread count sheets and was comfortable. They have a reserved spot for their guest in their kitchen counter top where you can get/make your breakfast.

Amanda and Rich are the best hosts out there! First of all the room and the whole house are pristine, beautifully decorated and immaculate. Amanda and Rich are super friendly - they welcomed me when I arrived late at night and offered me breakfast in the morning. It feels like a full on B&B. Look forward to coming back!

Amanda was a wonderful guest for two days at our place in Carmel Valley. She's a fun conversationalist and very sweet and respectful as a guest. I really enjoyed hosting her. She left the room spotless on checking out. I highly recommend Amanda to all ABB hosts!

Amanda and Rich were delightful guests. While Rich had to return home to care for another Airbnb guest they were hosting, Amanda fully embraced her time on the Land and in the Tree Palace. We had the opportunity for some beautiful conversations, and they felt like family from the moment we met. It's so special to have seasoned guests who know their way around being a wonderful occupant.
It was fun to watch their reaction to the Tree Palace and especially their excitement for the old time tin hot tub! We had it nice and toasty when they arrived, with a campfire going too, for a starlit experience under the pines. Since they are dog lovers, our girls thought there were here for them, as did Lily our goat, that was a hit.
Amanda was so appreciative for every detail she encountered and was mindful and thoughtful about caring for the space and leaving it more loved than when they arrived.
Thank you too for sharing tips on being a great host and hostess, your friendly warm style of showing up was extra special. It's also nice to know that your friends in Vermont with the Tree House rent it year round, so that opened up the season for us too.
We so look forward to seeing you again soon!
Much love,
Laura Lynne & Family

Amanda and Rich are absolutely delightful! They are both so incredibly friendly, easy to talk to, kind, considerate, fun, and courteous. As a side note, they were one of my last guests as an Airbnb host and upon informing them of the city shutting down my Airbnb listing were very concerned and supportive of my situation. Something I greatly appreciated. I very much enjoyed having them as guests and would highly recommend them to any potential hosts. I am so happy you found me and to have met you both!

Amanda and Rich were lovely guests. We had some nice chats with them about their travels around Scotland, and Amanda told us a recipe for Kale crisps! They were very considerate and tidy, and even stripped the bedding. Welcome here any time.
